Strange smell from engine
Ok - I have a new one and just wondered what it might be:
When my truck is running, the engine smells like rotten eggs. You know - the nasty sulpher smell. The smell is coming from the engine compartment itself, not the exhaust. Any clues so I can pass it on to our mechanics when I get back in this weekend?

I do believe they do 10, maybe 15k pm's. Mine was last done 5,000 miles ago at most.

Put the truck in the shop today. The mechanic is thinking that a battery may be busted or the alternator is over-charging.

It's a Volvo. The batteries are directly below the drivers door.

Battery problem
 Was it inspected for cracks?
